    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    Hi all, here is my entry for this group build. I made the ambulance version a few years ago and it was a lovely kit, so I'm going to build the cargo variant here. Hot from John at the shop: There's not a massive amount of parts to it, but here they are: I have a bit of construction left...

    I worked at Toyota while the SW20 was a current model. We called them Mister 2 too 😂

    Aoshima Japanese taxi

    That was quick. You don't hang around do you 😁

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    It's starting to take shape with the major sub assemblies now fixed to the hull. There's a minor amount of filling & sanding to do once the glue dries but nothing to write home about. I've left all of the rubber buffers (?) off for now as I think they'll be easier to paint separately.

    Tamiya Celica gt4 Monte Carlo rally

    Thanks Ian! No, I've never tried spraying powders. Sounds like a good way to make a mess though 😂 I actually tried to make it look more dirty than muddy, since Monte Carlo is primarily a road / tarmac event, but there's still plenty of muck thrown up.

    1/72 Airfix Sea King gift set. First post.

    That's lovely. I built the same kit some years ago and I'm looking forward to the 1/48 release later in the year

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Thanks for the support gents. I've got the back half of the load area and the engine deck built, just rested in place here. It did bring some more etch madness though! This item appears to be a cooling radiator, to which the instructions ask you to add an etch grille front & back...

    Ian M's Heller 1/24 Mercedes delivery van.

    Oops! I bet the air turned blue after the putty mix up.

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Yes, especially since the plastic already has raised detail for them.

    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a boat or a vehicle? It has wheels so I hope you'll agree with my choice to put it in this section. Received as a birthday present from my lad, this isn't a subject I'd have chosen myself but I'm enjoying building something different to the norm...

    Some 1/35 dios that I did whilst away from the site

    That's some cracking work there Andy!

    Okay John, thank you for that. Whatever you decide to do with subscriptions, I'm sure many of us would still be willing to help the forum along, even if it's just some kind of optional donation.

    Logistics Group Build Rules

    I may jump on this GB if no one minds. I feel guilty for missing a few last year that I had put my name down for, so I'd like to get right back at it. Unfortunately I've already started building my LARC-V or that would be an ideal subject, but I'm sure I can think of something 🙂

    Only a minor thing but my SMF Supporters badge isn't showing. I only renewed it on the 18th, not long before the switch back to here, so maybe it got mislaid in the move?

    Another coming back to the fold...

    Evening Andy. Good to see you back. I haven't been around much myself lately but a few kits from the family have got me sniffing the glue again 😁

    Tamiya Celica gt4 Monte Carlo rally

    Hi everyone, it's been a while 😁 Here's one I've just finished. A nice, easy kit to ease myself back into the saddle. I hope you like it.

    Tamiya side cut replacement spring?

    I know it's a long shot but my son has broken the spring in his tamiya side cutters. Any ideas if replacements can be bought, and if so, where from? Or is a case of him (or me more likely 😂) buying a new pair? Thanks
